Julius Suraski, an event co-ordinator for the Jewish Defence League of Canada, has also joined the larger delegation. The organization is an ardent supporter of Israel and has taken a sometimes confrontational approach [LOL!!!!] to political issues in Canada and the Middle East.

TERRORISM IS LEGAL IN CANADA
The JDL is a Kahanist organization that has been banned in Israel and
the United States as a terrorist group. Its Canadian branch has been
implicated in a long line of vigilante violence and fear-mongering. The
fact that such a piece of dreck can solicit in a respectable Jewish
establishment should make us sick to our collective stomachs.

These days, many liberal Jews think of Purim as a play date for the kids and a night of drunken debauchery for the grown-ups. We think of costumes and songs and noisemakers, a kind of carnival spirit. But the levity with which we approach Purim is actually pretty astonishing. Because this holiday, fun as it may seem on the surface, has a dark and dangerous underside to it.

Orthodox Israeli scientist and philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz (1903-1994) was once asked whether he would consider living outside Israel. Leibowitz allegedly responded that, no, he would not, one reason being that Israel was the only place he could live where he never had to celebrate Purim. On Purim he would be in Jerusalem (as a walled city, Jerusalem celebrates Purim a day after everyone else, called Shushan Purim) and on the evening after Purim Leibowitz would travel to Tel Aviv. Thus he never had to read the Megillah nor drink to celebrate an act of bloody revenge — that time we killed Haman, his sons and 75,000 of the Jews’ enemies throughout the ancient Persian empire. In typical fashion, Leibowitz cut to the chase. Purim is essentially about the celebration of violence.
Let us not forget that on Purim we drink to celebrate blotting out the nation of Amalek, of whom Haman is said to be a descendant. The Shabbat before Purim, called Shabbat Zakhor, Jews gather in synagogues to read the only biblically mandated Torah reading of the year, the verses that command genocide against the Amalekites. Perhaps we are commanded to get so inebriated on Purim to simulate the seemingly paradoxical notion of blotting out the memory of Haman through the very act of remembering Amalek. We must remember not only to not forget, but to blot out the enemy — not mercifully, but through genocide.
It is true that the rabbis long ago were aware of the danger of this commandment and put it to rest by saying we no longer know who Amalek is. But as Elliot Horowitz shows in painful detail in his must-read book Reckless Rites: Purim and the Legacy of Jewish Violence, Jews never really gave up on Amalek. In his introduction he cites an interview Jeffrey Goldberg did with now Knesset member Moshe Feiglin in Haaretz in 1994. Feiglin told Goldberg “that although he could not link the Arabs with Amalek ‘genetically,’ their behavior was ‘typical of Amalek.’” What did Feiglin imply here? A young settler, Ayelet, was asked if she thought Amalek was alive today, and she said to Goldberg, “Of course,” and pointed toward an Arab village in the distance.
This Purim is the 20th anniversary of the 1994 Hebron massacre. Since then, every year at this time many Jews feel a twinge of embarrassment as they remember Baruch Goldstein, the American-Israeli who murdered 29 Palestinian Muslims at the Cave of the Patriarchs on Purim 20 years ago. But a mere twinge of embarrassment is too easy. Moshe Feiglin is an elected member of the Israeli government. And Ayelet is not an atypical settler supported by the government. And Goldstein’s grave in Kiryat Arba is a shrine for a whole community of Israelis. Amalek is arguably alive today in the minds of many Jews in ways it has not been in a long time (I recently saw a picture of Ahmadinejad with Hamantaschen ears on the Internet). An enemy is one thing. Amalek is something quite different.
I have taken Purim very seriously my entire adult life. And I have paid for it the next day in spades. But Baruch Goldstein ruined that for me. It was a loss of innocence. Like many others, I could never celebrate Purim the same way after 1994. Because
the problem with the Jews today is not only the liberals who don’t take Purim seriously. It is also the Jews who take Purim seriously.Very seriously. Too seriously.
(...)

The Baruch Goldstein effectThe massacre’s price - an exorbitant one - is being paid to this day by
the settlers in the West Bank. On the day after the massacre, parts of
the nation started to sever their emotional ties with the settlements.(...)
Since the massacre - and despite it - the settlements have tripled their
population, growing from 115,000 people in 1993 to some 365,000 in
2013.

INTRODUCTION TO RECKLESS RITES - PURIM AND THE LEGACY OF JEWISH VIOLENCE[compte-rendu en français ici]
by Elliott Horowitz, Princeton University Press.
By
the time Rabbi Wasserman was killed by the Nazis in 1941, the latter
had become the universally recognized Amalekites of their day,
temporarily blotting out the memory of all others. Yet late in the
twentieth century the notion of Jewish Amalekites again gained currency,
finding expression, for example, in an article by the Bar-Ilan
professor and West Bank resident Hillel Weiss that appeared in Ha-Zofeh,
the newspaper published by Israel's National Religious Party, on Purim
of 1994. On that very day Dr. Baruch Goldstein--another West bank
resident--opened fire, with his army-issued semi-automatic rifle, on
dozens of Muslims who were praying inside the mosque at the Tomb of the
Patriarchs in Hebron, killing twenty nine. [6]
At the time, I was
living in Jerusalem, barely an hour's drive north from Hebron, and was
working on a Hebrew version of an article about the history of Purim
violence that became the genesis of this volume. [7] The realization, as
the news came in sometimes contradictory spurts over the radio, and as I
saw the raucous celebrations in the center of Jerusalem continuing
unabated, that there was a clear connection between past Purims and the present one was both exhilarating and disturbing. It became clear to me that another chapter had written itself into the history of Purim--a carnivalesque holiday of reversal that celebrates the triumph of the Jews,
during the days of Mordecai and Esther, over the genocidal plot of
their archenemy Haman, who was hanged on the gallows that he had planned
for Mordecai.

Haman
is referred to repeatedly in the book of Esther as an Agagite--that is,
descendant of the Amalekite king Agag. The Torah reading for the
morning of Purim is taken from the account in Exodus (17:8-16) of the
battle at Rephidim, after which God vowed that He would have war with Amalek "from generation to generation."
And the Sabbath before Purim, called the "Sabbath of Memory," is even
more infused with mordant memories of Israel's encounters with its
archenemy. The special Torah reading, drawn from the book of Deuteronomy
(25:17-19), from which that Sabbath draws its name, opens with the
command to "remember what Amalek did" and concludes with the ringing (yet to some chilling) exhortation to "blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven." And
the reading from the Prophets for the Sabbath before Purim is taken
from the aforementioned account (in 1 Sam. 15) of Saul's ill-fated war
against the Amalekites, from which their king alone was spared until the
prophet Samuel dramatically "hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in
Gilgal." Although my article on Purim, whose treatment began in the
fifth century, stretched ambitiously into the nineteenth, I decided
after the Hebron massacre of 1994 to be even more ambitious and extend
my story to the present. (...)
The following year, in 1990, the
Purim parade departed from Beit Hadassah toward the Tomb of the
Patriarchs, and in that year, too, Palestinian flags were burned in the
streets of Arab Hebron. Some of the Jewish participants were again
provocatively dressed as Palestinians, but Noam Arnon, then spokesman
for the settler organization Gush Emunim, chose to wear a "Peace Now"
t-shirt with a kaffiyeh on his head--suggesting an inner affinity
between those two sartorial objects. Four years later the holiday of
Purim coincided with the first Friday of Ramadan--as delicate a
situation as one could imagine in the embattled city of the Patriarchs. On
that fateful Friday morning Dr. Goldstein brought his semi-automatic
rifle with him to Purim prayers at the Tomb of the Patriarchs and fired
into the neighboring room where Muslims were at prayer. Since then, for me and for many others, Purim has never been the same.
In Hebron, however, little changed, even after the murder, in November 1995, of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin by Yigal Amir, a law student at Bar-Ilan University (where I was then teaching) and an admirer of Goldstein.
[11] On Purim of 1997, according to Haaretz correspondent Amira Segev,
Hebron's traditional Purim parade, which by then departed from the
Jewish "neighborhood" of Tel Rumeida, was headed by a Lubavitch "mitzvah
tank," and Noam Arnon, who by then had become spokesman for the Jewish
community of Hebron, (cross-) dressed as the outspoken left-wing
parliamentarian Shulamit Aloni, who had been a minister in Rabin's
government. One young woman was dressed as Margalit Har-Shefi, a
Bar-Ilan law student and West Bank resident who had been arrested in
connection with her classmate's assassination of Yitzhak Rabin.
In
1998 the Purim parade again stretched from Tel Rumeida to the Tomb of
the Patriarchs, the site of the 1994 Purim massacre. Noam Federman, a
Kahanist resident of Tel Rumeida, was dressed, according to Haaretz
correspondent Tami Sokol, as Leah Rabin in witch's garb, with a sticker
that ominously read "Shalom, Leah"--a ghoulish allusion to Bill
Clinton's famous words of farewell to Yitzhak Rabin at the latter's
funeral. And one of the settler children was dressed as the local Jewish
saint, Dr. Baruch Goldstein, wearing a stethoscope and carrying a
rifle. He was apparently one of many local Jewish children that year who
chose that macabre masquerade--presumably with the approval of their
parent. [12]
Purim in Hebron after 1994 was like Purim in Hebron
since 1981, only more so--with a new Jewish hero for Jewish children to
dress up as. And in Jerusalem the fashion of categorizing fellow Jews as
Amalekites reached new highs--or lows. In late February of 1996, after a
bus blew up on Jaffa road, a reporter for Ma'ariv heard a passerby
exclaim: "This is all due to the leftists of Meretz. We will take care
of them. For us they are Amalek."[13](...)
In its editorial on the
recent spate of anti-Christian incidents in Jerusalem Haaretz referred
to "the increasingly wild Jewish-nationalist-religious atmosphere" in
the city, which, I might add, is equally true of Hebron. In both holy
cities holy tombs have become sites of religious violence, and in both cities acts of violence against non-Jews have clustered around the days between Shabbat Zakhor and Purim.
It was over the holiday of Purim that religious settlers from Kiryat
Arbah festively reconquered Beit Hadassah from an Arab upholsterer in
1981, it was on that holiday that Dr. Goldstein of Kiryat Arbah gunned
down twenty-nine prostrate Muslims at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in
1994, and it was on the Sabbath before that holiday that one year later
Moshe Ehrenfeld spat conspicuously in the presence of an Armenian
procession in Jerusalem. It may be added that Daniel Rossing, a former
advisor on Christian affairs to Israel's Religious Affairs Ministry,
recently told a reporter that anti-Christian incidents tend to occur at
"certain times of the year, such as during the Purim holiday." Rossing,
in fact, knows Christians in Israel "who lock themselves indoors during
the entire Purim holiday." [25] Some may derive a measure of solace from
recalling that for centuries Jews in Christian countries would do the
same between Good Friday and Easter.[26] (...)Pourim expliqué aux terroristes sionistes
mars 4, 2013
mounadil.blogspot.comRan HaCohen propose un papier sur la fête juive de Pourim qui est l’occasion pour les fidèles de se déguiser mais aussi de se saouler la gueule, ce qui serait d’après lui une des obligations liées à cette fête.
Toujours d’après Ran HaCohen, La fête de Pourim est intrinsèquement associée à la violence, celle qu’auraient subie les Juifs d’après le Livre d’Esther et celle que les Juifs auraient pour obligation d’infliger à leurs ennemis identifiés à Amalek/Haman.
Cette obligation allant jusqu’à l’extermination, Dieu faisant même le reproche à Saül d’avoir péché en épargnant le roi Agag qui aurait été un ancêtre d’Haman, le vizir de l’empereur Perse qui avait comploté pour exterminer les Juifs.
Ran HaCohen rappelle justement que certains actes de violence contre les palestiniens coïncident avec la fête de Pourim tel le massacre perpétré à Hébron aux cris de Joyeux Pourim» par Baruch Goldstein en 1994.(...)

After Baruch Goldstein's massacre of Palestinians at the Mosque in Hebron,
Rabbi Arthur Waskow argued that Goldstein had decided to 'blot out the
memory of Amalek' by machine-gunning the Palestinian worshippers, and
commented:

So then, in our generation, for some Jews the Palestinians become
Amalek. Some Palestinians are terrorists? Some Palestinians call
publicly for the State of Israel to be shattered? The archetypes of fear
slide into place: all Palestinians are Amalek. And the fantasies of the
powerless become the actions of the powerful. For in our generation,
Jews have power.’[30]

Wikipedia - Baruch Goldstein
On February 25, 1994, that year's Purim day, Goldstein entered a room in the Cave of the Patriarchs
that was serving as a mosque, wearing "his army uniform with the
insignia of rank, creating the image of a reserve officer on active
duty." [15] He then opened fire, killing 29 worshippers and wounding more than 125.[16]
Mosque guard Mohammad Suleiman Abu Saleh said he thought that Goldstein
was trying to kill as many people as possible and described how there
were "bodies and blood everywhere".[17] Eventually, Goldstein was overcome and beaten to death by survivors of the massacre.[18] According to Ian Lustick, "by mowing down Arabs he believed wanted to kill Jews, Goldstein was reenacting part of the Purim story."[19]
Palestinian protests immediately followed the shooting; in the following week, 25 Palestinians were killed by the Israel Defense Forces, and five Israelis were killed as well.[20]
Following the riots, Israel imposed a two-week curfew on the 120,000
Palestinian residents of Hebron, while the 400 Jewish settlers of H2
were free to move around.[21] Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin telephoned PLO leader Yasser Arafat, and described the attack as a "loathsome, criminal act of murder".[17]
The Israeli government condemned the massacre, and responded by
arresting followers of Meir Kahane, forbidding certain settlers from
entering Arab towns, and demanding that those settlers turn in their
army-issued rifles.[4] Goldstein was immediately "denounced with shocked horror even by the mainstream Orthodox",[5] and most in Israel classified Goldstein as insane.[6]

Gravesite and shrineGoldstein's tomb.
Goldstein is buried across from the Meir Kahane Memorial Park in Kiryat Arba, a Jewish settlement adjacent to Hebron. The park is named in memory of Rabbi Meir Kahane, founder of the Israeli far-right political party Kach, a group classified by the United States and Israeli governments as a terrorist organization. Goldstein was a long-time devotee of Kahane.[1]
The gravesite has become a pilgrimage
site for Jewish extremists; a plaque near the grave reads "To the holy
Baruch Goldstein, who gave his life for the Jewish people, the Torah and
the nation of Israel." At least 10,000 people have visited the grave
since the massacre.[7] In 1996, members of the Labor Party
called for the shrine-like landscaped prayer area near the grave to be
removed, and Israeli security officials expressed concern that the grave
would encourage extremists.[22] In 1999, following passage of a law designed to prohibit monuments to terrorists, and an associated Supreme Court ruling, the Israeli Army bulldozed the shrine and prayer area set up near Goldstein's grave.[23]Veneration of Goldstein and celebration of the massacre
At Goldstein's funeral, Rabbi Yaacov Perrin claimed that even one million Arabs are "not worth a Jewish fingernail".[24][25][26]
Samuel Hacohen, a teacher at a Jerusalem college, declared Goldstein
the "greatest Jew alive, not in one way but in every way" and said that
he was "the only one who could do it, the only one who was 100 percent
perfect."[25][26]
In contrast, mainstream Jewish religious leaders "rejected the
suggestion that killing Palestinians with an automatic rifle" was
authorized by the Torah.[24]Rabbi Dov Lior of Kiryat Arba declared that Goldstein was "holier than all the martyrs of the Holocaust."[27] In the weeks following the massacre, hundreds of Israelis traveled to Goldstein's grave to celebrate Goldstein's actions. Some Hasidim danced and sang around his grave.[28]
According to one visitor to the gravesite in the wake of the attacks,
"If [Goldstein] stopped these so-called peace talks, then he is truly
holy because this is not real peace."[28] Some visitors declared Goldstein a "saint" and "hero of Israel".[28]
The phenomenon of the adoration of Goldstein's tomb persisted for years.[7] The grave's epitaph said that Goldstein "gave his life for the people of Israel, its Torah and land".[8]
In 1999, after the passing of Israeli legislation outlawing monuments
to terrorists, the Israeli army dismantled the shrine that had been
built to Goldstein at the site of his interment. However, the tombstone
and its epitaph, calling Goldstein a martyr with clean hands and a pure heart, was left untouched.[8]
In the years after the dismantling of the shrine, radical Jewish
settlers continued to celebrate the anniversary of the massacre in the
West Bank, sometimes even dressing up themselves or their children to
look like Goldstein.[7][29]
In 2010, Jewish settlers were criticized that during celebrations of
Purim they sang songs praising Baruch Goldstein's massacre
demonstratively in front of their Arab neighbours. A phrase from the
song reads "Dr. Goldstein, there is none other like you in the world.
Dr. Goldstein, we all love you… he aimed at terrorists' heads, squeezed
the trigger hard, and shot bullets, and shot, and shot."[30](...)

GOLIATH: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel, by Max Blumenthal
The genocidal philosophy expressed in Torat Ha’Melech[King's Torah] emerged from the fevered atmosphere of a settlement called Yitzhar located in the northern West Bank near the Palestinian city of Nablus.
There, Shapira helps lead the settlement’s Od Yosef Chai yeshiva, holding sway over a small army of fanatics eager to terrorize the Palestinians tending to their crops and livestock in the valleys below them. Shapira was raised in an infl uential religious nationalist family. Like Yaakov Yosef, he took a radical turn after joining the Chabad sect under the tutelage of Rabbi Yitzchok Ginsburgh, the director of Yitzhar’s Od Yosef Chai yeshiva who defended seven of his students who murdered an innocent Palestinian girl by asserting the superiority of Jewish blood. In 1994, when the Jewish fanatic Baruch Goldstein massacred 29 Palestinian worshippers at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, Ginsburgh lionized Goldstein in a lengthy article titled “Baruch, Hagever,” or “Baruch, the Great Man.”Ginsburgh cast Goldstein’s murder spree as an act consistent with core Halakhic teachings,from the importance of righteous revenge to the necessity of the “eradication of the seed of Amalek.”
While Ginsburgh and Shapira provided the halakhic seal of approval for settler rampages in the north of the West Bank, in the south, their comrade, Dov Lior, the chief rabbi of Hebron, has cheered on the murder of anyone, Jew or non-Jew, who appeared to interfere with the redemptive cause of Greater Israel. At the funeral for Baruch Goldstein, Lior extolled the mass killer as “a righteous man” who was “holier than all the martyrs of the Holocaust.” Thanks in part to Lior’s efforts, a shrine to Goldstein stands inside the Jewish settlement of Kiryat Arba, where Lior presides over the yeshiva. At the same time, Lior pronounced Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin a moser (a Jew who snitches to the goyim) and a rodef (a traitor worthy of elimination), helping establish the religious justification for Yigal Amir, one of Lior’s admirers, to assassinate him.

Yitzhak Ginsburg (fiche Wikipedia):
In 1994, Ginsburgh received widespread criticism for his article "Baruch Hagever"[16] in which he praised Baruch Goldstein who had massacred 29 Palestinian worshippers at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron.[17][18] Rabbi Ginsburgh wrote that it is possible to view Baruch Goldstein's act as following five Halachic
principles, namely "sanctification of God's name", "saving life"
(referring to testimonies that he had allegedly received regarding a
planned Arab massacre of Jews[19]), "revenge", "eradication of the seed of Amalek" and "war".[20] Motti Inbari commented on this:

In his writings, Ginzburg gives prominence to Halachic and kabbalistic approaches that emphasize the distinction between Jew and non-Jew (Gentile), imposing a clear separation and hierarchy in this respect. He claims that while the Jews are the Chosen People and were created in God's image, the Gentiles do not have this status....
Ginzburg stated that, on the theoretical level, if a Jew requires a liver transplant to survive, it would be permissible to seize a Gentile and take their liver forcefully. From this point only a small further step is required to actively encourage and support the killing of non-Jews, as Ginzburg did in the case of Goldstein.[21]

(...)Rabbi Herzfeld is no lightweight Jew.
His synagogue is important enough to be referred as the National
Synagogue of the United States and Herzfeld is National Vice-President
of a major Jewish organization, Coalition of Jewish Concerns—Amcha.

Most commentators understand the
Purim story as correcting King Shaul’s failure to wipe out Amalek. The
first king of Israel was Shaul the son of Kish. He was appointed king by
the prophet, Shmuel. Shmuel commands him to wipe out Amalek—to kill all
the people, as well as all the animals. Shmuel defeats Amalek, yet he
shows mercy upon the King of Amalek, Agag, and allows him to live. In
addition, he takes the best of the animals as booty. When Shmuel hears
this he tells Shaul, “karah Hashem et mamlachut Yisrael me-alekha, God
has torn away the Kingship of Israel from you.” Thus, Shaul loses the
kingdom on account of the fact that he did not kill Agag and the Jews
took the booty of Amalek.

Mordechai is a descendant of
Shaul. He is Mordechai ben Yair…ben Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.
Mordechai does battle with Haman the Agagite, a descendant of King Agag.
Mordechai defeats Haman and kills not only him, but also his ten sons.
Mordechai shows no mercy upon Agag’s descendant Haman…

As most commentators explain,
Mordechai fixes the damage done by Shaul’s sin. Where Shaul could not
kill Agag, Mordechai kills Haman; where Shaul took the booty of Amalek,
Mordechai does not allow the Jews to take the booty of Haman.

The lesson is clear, when it comes to
Gentile enemies, you must show no mercy, completely wipe them out, “kill
all the people, as well as all the animals.” Mordecai, the hero of
Purim, doesn’t make that mistake, and he sees the lesson as very clear,
Jews today shouldn’t make that mistake either.

The
mainstream Jews as represented by the National Synagogue take this
message to heart. Unfortunately, many other Jews have done so as well.
One Jew who did so was Rabbi Baruch Goldstein who on Purim in 1994 went
into the religious Shrine of the Patriarchs and while they knelt in
prayer, Goldstein used a machine gun to kill 30 and wound 150
Palestinians.

Fortunately,
there are a few courageous Jewish rabbis, a small minority, who
recognize the hate and extremism promoted by Purim. Rabbi Arthur Waskow
speaks about it in his article, The Renewal of Purim and the Fast of
Esther.

…The hilarity of Purim will be
shadowed by the horror of the Purim of 1994 — the mass murder of 30
Muslims prostrate in prayer, carried out by a religiously committed Jew
who said he was acting in the name of God…

…The date of the Hebron massacre was no accident of timing: Purim itself played a role in creating that horror….

Another Jewish voice, Rabbi J. Jacobs
also reveals the hateful nature of Purim and the association of
non-Jews, such as Palestinians, with Amalek.

In recent years, some have
likened the Palestinians to Amalek and, as such, have justified any
violence against this people. It is no coincidence that Baruch
Goldstein, a fanatical Jewish settler in the West Bank, chose Purim day
to carry out his 1994 massacre of Palestinian worshipers in Hebron. When
equated, by those of a certain political viewpoint, to the contemporary
Jewish experience, the Purim story becomes an incitement to violence
and not simply a satire about a distant time and place. The seriousness
with which some have understood the megillah’s apparent sanction of mass
murder demands that those of us bothered by the ending of the story
offer an equally serious ethical response.

However,
the ethical response has not come, and Jewish groups around the world
are ramping up the hate engendered at Purim toward a man the Jewish
extremists consider the latest Haman.

According to The Jerusalem Post on
February 26, 2007, Jewish extremists in Israel are organizing 10,000
Jewish children to pray for the death of former President Ahmadinejad of
Iran.

Feb. 26, 2007 8:59Kids’ prayers aimed against AhmadinejadBy Matthew Wagner Hoping for a
modern-day re-occurrence of Purim’s miraculous story of redemption from a
Persian ruler, a Jerusalem-based kabbalist hopes to battle Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s nuclear threat with children’s prayers.

On Sunday at the Succat David
elementary school, Rabbi David Batzri, head of the Shalom Yeshiva,
launched a nationwide campaign to enlist 10,000 young children in a
prayer rally against Ahmadinejad before Purim.

The caption on the photo accompanying the article reads:

Ultra Orthodox boys attend a
special prayer calling for the death of Iran’s President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, at a religious school in Jerusalem, Sunday.

Understanding the genocidal and hateful
source of the Purim story is essential to understanding the radical
Jewish extremism that permeates far too much of the mainstream Jewish
community.

In the Purim story, a supposed
conspiracy to kill Jews in mass is used as a justification for Jews to
commit a genocide of their own that they boisterously celebrate every
year for 2500 years.

They use the lesson of Purim as a lesson
not of love and redemption, but a celebration of hate and the need to
be completely merciless with their enemies.

Now, Zionist extremists with extensive
power in media and governments around the world are planning a new
genocide. This time it is against Iran. Similarly to their campaign of
lies and influence with King Xerxes, they lie to our leaders and public
and tell us that Iran has genocidal intentions not just against Israel
but to the world. They even tell us that Iran is a threat to America.

They combine the repeated lie that
Iran’s President called for “wiping Israel off the map” with disputing
(with not a single concrete fact) Iran’s peaceful pursuit of Nuclear
energy, a pursuit that has allowed U.N. International Atomic Energy
Agency (I.A.E.A.) inspections.

As always the double standard with “the
Chosen” is striking. Israel has never allowed inspections of the
chemical, biological and nuclear weapons facilities.

In another article in the Jerusalem Post giving Internet lessons for young Jews, it says:

“And recognizing the sly Haman who wants to destroy us is important, because there seems to be a Haman in every generation.
And so on Purim we celebrate our escape from a long line of “Hamans” that stretches down through history and around the world! ”
To these hateful Jewish extremists the new Haman is Ahmadinejad. If they
are successful in creating hate and war against him, in murderously
attacking Iran and us in the process, they will unleash war, terrorism,
economic depression and untold suffering for millions of people all over
the world.

JTA - Rabbis: Purim, Iraq war linked
Rabbi Martin Weiner of San Francisco, outgoing president of the Reform movement’s rabbinical union, the Central Conference of American Rabbis, used Shabbat Zachor to draw a line from Amalek to Hitler to Saddam. A modern-day Amalek, Saddam has attacked four of his neighbors, gassed tens of thousands of his own people and pays stipends to suicide bombers, Weiner said, so “it’s terribly important to remove him.” Last September, Weiner was among those who backed a resolution from the Reform movement’s Union of American Hebrew Congregations urging a pre-emptive strike against Iraq, if Congress supported it and U.N. backing was sought.

TJF - "Kahane's legacy" Twenty years ago this week, a Brooklyn-born Israeli settler named Baruch Goldstein walked into the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron and opened fire with his army-issued assault rifle, killing 29 Palestinians and wounding 150 others. In the following days, Israeli soldiers shot and killed at least 20 more Palestinians and injured hundreds of others as protests erupted across the occupied territories. The Israeli government convened a commission of inquiry that found Goldstein had acted alone and deemed there was no deeper problem, despite repeated warning signs that he posed a serious danger prior to the massacre. A year latera Jewish extremist and admirer of Goldstein assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in an attempt to stop the peace process.

Now that Israel's regime is Kahanist the end draws near
This is how the end looks. The Israeli regime has become Kahanist. The culture minister praises Sapir Sabah with a big “like.” Sabah, the high school student who decided that her teacher, Adam Verete, is a traitor, and that traitors deserve a death sentence. Sabah, who is an open Kahanist, who celebrates with the most extreme Kahanists from the height of physical belligerence, of the kind that led to the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995. This after the leading members of the regime, like Ministers Avigdor Lieberman, Naftali Bennett and Limor Livnat, stood enthusiastically behind a Kahanist singer who sang a song of praise to God for the death sentence thanks to which Rabin was assassinated and the late Prime Minister Ariel Sharon collapsed.

Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin has in actuality murdered
more people than Adolph Hitler. Stalin, like Hitler, was an anti-Semite
and the Jews of the Soviet Union suffered immensely under his rule. Many
Jews, such as Genya Reichman, were forced to engage in slave labor
under Stalin upon fleeing Nazis-controlled areas. In fact, even Jewish
refugee children, such as Annia Segal, grew up under horrendous
conditions in the Soviet Gulag. Yet, by 1953, the status of Soviet Jewry had deteriorated even further and Soviet Jews were facing a possible genocide.
But on Purim about 60 years ago, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin
collapsed. Soon afterwards, he died, thus sparing the Jewish people
another Holocaust. It was a miracle!

Stalin’s plan to annihilate
the Jews of the Soviet Union which he had formulated immediately prior
to his death is one of the lesser known facts of history. Yet, not
even ten years after the conclusion of the Holocaust, there was a
full-scale attack upon Soviet Jews, complete with purges, executions,
imprisonments, and the imposed exile of tens of thousands of Jews.
In early 1953, the Soviet media was alleging that Jewish doctors had a
conspiracy to poison top-level Soviet officials, thus increasing the
level of hostility directed towards Soviet Jews. The Jews of the Soviet
Union were living in terror under Stalin, especially in the early
1950’s. And then, in the midst of the so-called doctor’s plot, Stalin
had started to plan for the deportation of 2 to 4 million Jews to
Siberia and Central Asia, where they would be annihilated, as a
collective punishment for a conspiracy invented by the Stalin-controlled
Soviet media.

Kliment Yefremovich Voroshilov

During
a meeting with top-level Soviet officials, there were other Soviet
government members who did oppose Stalin’s plans against the Jewish
people. Vyacheslav Molotov, who was married to a Jewish woman, staunchly
objected to Stalin’s plans against the Jewish people and had the
audacity to tell the dictator that such a move would be horrendous for
public relations. Kliment Yefremovich Voroshilov, who also had a
Jewish wife, actually went as far as chasing away Soviet agents from
his home using a rifle in order to protect his Jewish wife. He
then had the audacity to tell Stalin that he no longer wished to be a
member of the Communist Party. An enraged Stalin responded that only he
had the right to determine who will be in the Communist Party. Soon
after that, on that Purim day about 60 years ago, Stalin collapsed on the floor and he would die not long after that.

Interestingly,
on the same day that Joseph Stalin collapsed, the Lubavich Rebbe was
leading a Purim gathering. Members of the Jewish community had asked for
him to pray for the Soviet Jewish community. However, instead of doing
this, the Lubavich Rebbe told a story. He proclaimed, “After the czar
fell in Russia, it was announced that the government would be holding
elections. The Rebbe Rashab, fifth to Chabad dynasty, sent word to the
Chasidim that they were to participate in the voting process. There was
one particular Chasid who was completely removed from the affairs of the
world; to him the political arena was foreign territory. Nonetheless,
having received an explicit instruction from the Rebbe, he set out to
fulfill his command. With a sense of awe and reverence he immersed
himself in a mikvah, donned his gartel (belt for prayer) and set out for
the polling booth. Of course, when he got there, he had no idea what he
was expected to do, but some of the more worldly Chasidim helped him
cast his vote. Adjusting his gartel, the Chasid did what everyone else
was doing. When the votes were cast, everyone cried out ‘Hurrah!’ Taking
his cue from those around him he likewise cried out, ‘Hurrah! Hurrah!
Hurrah!’”

Yet in this mans heart, he meant to cry this out in Hebrew, which is Hu-Ra (he is evil).
As the Lubavich Rebbe stated the word “Hu-rah,” his face was burning in
such an inspiring way that his Purim crowd also began to shout
“Hu-rah,” in regards to Stalin. It is an interesting coincidence that
soon after that Stalin passed away. It is as if the Jewish people were praying for a miracle and they got one. According to Dr. Rushnin, author of Why Stalin Didn’t Murder All of the Jews,
Stalin’s death “in itself [is] such a happy end to a huge threat [that]
deserves to be remembered and commemorated by all Jews.” Jews
traditionally believe that whenever the Jewish community is miraculously
saved from disaster, this date should be celebrated on the appropriate
date. Thus, in 1996, Dr. Rushnin initiated Little Purim
celebrations in honor of Soviet Jewry being saved and this Little Soviet
Purim is celebrated in over 100 synagogues across the United States.

Joseph
Stalin, the dictator of the Soviet Union, responsible for the murder of
over twenty million human beings (with some estimates running as high
as 40,000,000) was one of the most evil tyrants the world has ever
known. In modern times, he was paralleled only by Hitler, may their
names be erased.

In early 1953, according to many
historians, Stalin began to orchestrate a plan which, he intended, would
result in the deportation of millions of Jews of the Soviet Union to
Siberia and Central Asia and, eventually, to their annihilation.

His
ruse began with a blood libel: A group of Jewish doctors were “caught”
conspiring to poison top Soviet officials, and thereby “destroy the
motherland.” Stoked by the Russian propaganda machine, anti-Semitic
hatred was riled against the Jews.

With Stalin poised to
take the next step of his nefarious plot – the extent of which was
unknown to the public at the time – at least one Jewish leader seems to
have known of the scheme.

In his recent testimony given
to the My Encounter with the Rebbe project, Reb Yoel Kahan, who
participated in the Rebbe’s Farbrengen of Purim, 5713, shared the events
of that day which, clearly, played a role in the story’s unexpected
ending. As in the original Purim story, “It was turned upside down, and
the Jews were victorious over their enemies.”

Assassinat de JFK: C'était pas des nazis
And now John F. Kennedy Jr. has died in a plane crash together with his wife and his sister in law. Although he was at risk for being a descendant of an Amalekite, he further provoked his fate by announcing the possibility of running for president sometime in the future. Later he committed a greater political error of judgement when he became interested in the murder of the slain Israeli Prime-Minister Ytzak Rabin. He was fascinated because the Rabin assassination showed strong parallels with the one of his own father. He was obviously planning to make his ideas public that his father and Ytzak Rabin were both murdered. (Did Mossad destroy the Kennedy family?)

This War is For Us (Continued...)
(...)Read the Purim story in Megilat Esther again, it is a rags to riches story on a national scale. Haman, the proto-typical anti-Semite, plans mass murder of the Jews and in the end pays with his life, the life of his ten sons - all hanged - and the Jews kill 75, 800 members of the anti-Semitic - i.e. Nazi - party of the time.

This is not so different from the Nuremberg Trials after World War II, when 23 Nazi war criminals were tried. Originally 11 were to have the death penalty imposed if found guilty. Everybody in those days thought that they would be shot - as is customary in military executions - or get the electric chair - as was common in the United States. But when the judges announced the verdict of guilty, they also said that hanging would be the method of execution. Two hours before the execution, they found Hermann Goering dead in his cell. He had committed suicide. That left only 10 Nazis to execute.
There is more to this story than meets the eye. In Megilat Esther (9:7-9), when it describes the execution of Haman's ten sons, their names are listed in a vertical column. If you look at the Hebrew closely, you'll notice extra-small letters in three of the names. The first name, Parshandata, has a small tav. The seventh name, Parmashta, has a small shin. The tenth name, Vayzata, has a small zayn. Hebrew letters are also used as numbers, as well as for dates in the Jewish calendar. Tav, shin, zayn numerically means 707, corresponding to the year 5707, which began with Rosh HaShanah - the Jewish New Year - on September 25, 1946. On October 16, 1946, as foreshadowed in the names of Haman's ten sons, ten Nazi leaders were hanged as war criminals. And if that doesn't impress you, out of nowhere, with the rope around his neck, Julius Schtreicher - editor of Der Sturmer, the Nazi propaganda newspaper - shouted out with flaming hatred in his eyes, just as the trap door opened, "Purimfest 1946!" It was reported in the international press of the day.
As I said earlier, of course this war is for the Jews and Israel, and instead of hiding from the accusation, or crying, "anti-Semitic slur", we should gratefully acknowledge what the Master of the Universe is doing to our enemies for us. Saddam Hussein, Yasser Arafat, Bashar Assad, Osama Bin-Laden, and the other dictators, terrorists and mullahs of the region, are the modern day Hamans and Hitlers.(...)
Yes, the war is for the Jews. But it is also for all decent, peace-loving and freedom-loving people. Just as when the Jews were saved from Egyptian slavery, liberated, given the Torah at Mt. Sinai, and brought into the Holy Land, the world now has a great opportunity to rid itself of the Hamans, Hitlers, and Pharaohs who want to kill or enslave them today. (lire la suite...)
